Filter by:This is a randomized control trial comparing the efficacy of ultrasound (US) guided vs landmark-guided hematoma blocks on distal forearm fractures.
It was designed as a randomized controlled prospective. After 2 weeks of splint follow-up, the splints of the patients who were operated due to distal radius fracture and volar plate were applied will be removed and included in the physical therapy program. The measurements and scores of the patients at the time of removal of the splint will be recorded. Patients' non-injured contralateral extremity data will also be recorded. The dominant party will be registered. Preoperative fracture classification of the patients, reduction parameters after surgery, waiting time for post-fracture surgery, pre-fracture chronic diseases, cognitive disorders, psychiatric disease histories, whether the patients lived alone at home or not will be recorded. Patients will be randomized with the help of a free computer aided numerator. The patients will be divided into two groups and conventional face-to-face rehabilitation will be applied to one group, and the previously planned tele-rehabilitation program will be applied to the other group.
This is a pilot proof of feasibility study to explore the efficacy of high resolution thermal imaging (HRTI) to screen for toddler's fractures. In HRTI, a sensitive thermal camera is used to capture the temperature profile of the suspected fracture region and then analyse and interpret the information using image processing. Toddler's fractures are a common type of tibial fracture in children under 5 years old that can be particularly difficult to detect as the bone typically appears normal on x-ray for the first 10 days and becomes detectable thereafter only as new bone forms. The child's leg is put in plaster in the interim and the diagnosis cannot be confirmed until 10-14 days later. Around 60% of children with suspected toddler's fracture will not have a fracture, and would therefore have had plaster, repeat attendances and repeat x-ray unnecessarily. There is also the inconvenience and general risks of plaster immobilisation for the child. In an earlier study, the investigators demonstrated that HRTI has potential in diagnosing limp in children. This study included two children with toddler's fracture where HRTI detected the fracture's location on the patient's first Emergency Department(ED) visit. In this study, the investigators aim to build on earlier work to explore HRTI for screening for toddler's fracture. On its successful completion, the investigators aim to develop the technology in a follow on larger diagnostic study as a tool that could be used to quickly exclude cases where the injury has not resulted in a fracture. This would allow more objective decision making during the initial assessment of the child. In addition, a reduction in the number of unnecessary x-rays, revisits, treatment as well as cost is anticipated.
Aim: To compare the effect of one single dose versus multiple doses of prophylactic antibiotics administered within 24 hours, on the development of PJI after surgery in patients undergoing primary THA due to an acute fracture or sequelae of proximal femoral or acetabular fractures. The study is designed as a cross-over, cluster randomized, non-inferiority trial. All Danish orthopedic surgery departments performing primary THA with the majority being within inclusion criteria will be involved: Based on national quality databases, two-year cohorts of approximately 2,000 primary THAs due to a fracture or sequelae to a fracture, conducted at all public and private orthopedic departments in Denmark, this includes 36 sites corresponding to a total of 39 departments.
To investigate the diagnostic value of ultrasound performed by a lay experimenter compared to standard radiographic imaging (or standard x-ray) in the detection of fractures in patients with closed acute ankle trauma and positive Ottawa ankle rules
Primary Objective : To evaluate the incidence of radial nerve palsy for adult patients with humeral shaft fractures Secondary Objective : To establish management protocol for traumatic humeral shaft fractures in adults at AUH
The purpose of this study is to evaluate both genotypic differences and differences in local gene expression in individuals who develop acute traumatic compartment syndrome relative to control patients with at-risk lower extremity fractures who do not develop compartment syndrome.
Physiotherapy has an important place in the treatment of osteoporotic vertebral fractures. Therapeutic exercise is often recommended for patients with vertebral fractures to reduce pain and restore functional movement. There is not enough evidence in the literature to determine the effects of long-term exercise on osteoporotic fractures and their side effects. Therefore, the aim of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of 12-week exercise training in patients with osteoporotic vertebral fractures.
Aim and objectives This study aimed to treat fractures of the distal end of the radius in the children with Robert Jones (RJ) bandage in comparison with a cast. The objective was to compare the frequency of occurrence of the complications, child comfortability, and family satisfaction with this treatment modality.
Purpose: To compare the clinical outcomes and radiological parameters of patients undergoing percutaneous vertebroplasty (PVP) versus those undergoing percutaneous vertebral-disc plasty (PVDP) for back pain, segmental instability, and kyphosis due to thoracolumbar very severe osteoporotic vertebral compression fractures (vsOVCFs). This prospective study included elderly patients with thoracolumbar vsOVCFs. All the patients were randomly allocated into the PVP group (who underwent conventional PVP) and the PVDP group (who underwent PVP combined percutaneous cement discoplasty). The visual analogue scale (VAS), Oswestry Disability Index (ODI), local kyphosis angle, and disc height were recorded preoperatively and postoperatively.
